To all -w/Lom t may con cern 4 Be 1t known that I, ALEXANDER BLOCK,

y a citizen of the United States, and resident lNew York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Typewriting Machines; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention is a typewriting machine. Generically speaking, the object of my invention is to provide the machine fully described herein with a number of reoperation of the key successively, as this improvements such as will give it a varied field of usefulness; the said vmachine being` equally adapted for use in a commerical office, Where facility of operation, durability and speed are required; in .technical or scientific institutions .Where in addition to the above characteristics, interchangeability of characters or fonts of types under the immediate control from av keyboard by an operator is a distinct advantage; and in .the home, Where uniformlty of impression and thus ,beautiful printing is a: valuable asset in-a typewriting machine possessing the above-mentioned improvements. The present invention embodied in the machine disclosed herein, has for a further object to render the printingY operations noiseless, and to dispense. with ribbons .or pads by pro'- vidingl an improved inking mechanism lfor inking the types as they successively approach the printing4 position.

My machine disclosed herein embodies improvements on the machines disclosed in my (ro-pending applications for typewriting machines, filed respectively on November 5th and 10th, i919, and January lOth, 1920; the serial numbers of which are 335,857; 336,810 and 350,519 respectively. More particularly, the principal objectives aimed. at in said improvements in the present invention'lare as follows A. inexpensive power controllable by an operator, for operating the various mechanisms of the machine,- and mechanical means independent of said operator for returninpr said mechanisms to normal rest position. The power operated mechanisms are arranged to cooperate with the automatically operated retirar-.ting device. to allow of the consecutive repetition of the printing of a certain character without the successive releasing and re-operation of the correspondF ing key. When an operator desires to print a certain character, he depressesthe corresponding key to release the power for operating the mechanisms controlling the printing of said character, and the'printing of the character W-ili be consecutively repeated as many tunes as 'the operator desires by thel operator simply depressing the key and maintaining said key in such condition for a period of time sufficient to allow of the printing the character the required number of times. For the repeated printing of such characters as periods, asterisks, dashes, the above arrangement obviates the necessity for improvement allows of the consecutive printlng of an entire line of such characters-Withoutlifting; the operators finger from the key until tlie entire line is printed. rEhis novel construction is conducive to speedy opera-v tion ot the machine and saves power.

B. Mechanisms for ope-rating' the various devices of the machine as controlled from a keyboard are rovided with means for rendering the printing operations practically noiseless. This feature is of great advantage in a busy oce Where a great number' of printing operations. Typewriting machines of this type now in common use carry the.

interchangeable types on type. Wheels, and the operation for printing' of a certain character necessitates the movement of lan entire font. of types-in order to .bring the desired character into printing position. la

The said,-

type carriers may then be o erated individllally to successively deliver t ne required typesv intov printing position for performing the ite 'one type of such machines the entire' t pel Wheel with the font of types is operate to perform the printing operation. This requires a. maximum of power and a' consequent reduction in speed of operation of the machine, which are two important factors to be considered in purchasing a machine for extensive use in a business oiiice. lA further objection to these niachi'nesis that the entire .iio machine at' a mush greater rate of speed na the machines now 1n common use.

My invention further consists in certain features of construction and combinations and arragements of parts, all of which will be fully set forth herein and particularly pointed out in the claims. It is understood, however, Ath at minor changes in construction may be made without de-v parting from the spirit oithe invention, the structures shown in the appended drawing being given only hy way of illustration and notby wayof limitation. Other olojects and advantages will appear in the specification and in the drawing wherein like parts are designated by like characters throughout.
